Characters

Although bearing a heavy resemblance to Link, Eiji Aonuma stated that the character in the trailer may not be Link. Although he could be saying this for fun, it does raise an interesting question of who this might be, and will they be the star of the next game, or is it just a supporting character. Eiji Aonuma would eventually admit that the character was, in fact, Link.

Main Character Speculation

Due to a recent comment from Anouma, in which he said "The character in the trailer isn't necessarily Link", has left many questioning who it might be. Although he could be saying this just to cause speculation, it also wouldn't be the first time we saw strong supporting characters who were not Link. As details emerge, we will be sure to post them here.

Eiji Aonuma has expressed an interest in not sticking to Zelda series tradition, and this may involve changing up the roles of recurring characters like Princess Zelda and Link. "Having someone think 'Huh? Is this Zelda?!' at first, then 'Oh, it is Zelda,' is what we're going for. Something that wouldn't make it matter whether Link or Princess Zelda appear in it or not. Something where it wouldn't even matter if Zelda is actually a princess, or not." [1]
